From Our Editors

When a patron marches to the bar donning bunny ears, full camouflage gear, or a 1980s-inspired outfit of legwarmers and a Cosby sweater, it's an oddity. But when a whole hoard wears similar threads, it's probably a group from Crawl Baltimore. Each month, the company's self-guided, goofily themed crawls embark on tours of pubs and taverns within walking distance of one another. Attendance includes three complimentary shooters as well as food and drink specials at all the stops. Afterward, Crawl Baltimore donates a portion of each event's proceeds to a different charity.
